(c) The licensee of a secondary station which is authorized to
operate limited time and which may resume operation at the time the
Class A station (or stations) on the same channel ceases operation
shall, with each application for renewal of license, file in triplicate
a copy of its regular operating schedule. It shall bear a signed
notation by the licensee of the Class A station of its objection or lack
of objection thereto. Upon approval of such operating schedule, the FCC

to operate limited time. This shall be posted with the station license
and considered as a part thereof. Departure from said operating schedule
will be permitted only pursuant to Sec. 73.1715 (Share time).
